David Lynch is Right: No One Knows How to Intelligently Oppose Trump

When legendary film director and Twin Peaks creator David Lynch proclaimed in an interview with The Guardian that Donald Trump "could go down as one of the greatest Presidents in history", chaos and confusion ensued. Opponents of Trump were aghast at Lynch while Trump gleefully tweeted the Breitbart article which contained the Lynch quote and mentioned him at a rally in South Carolina for Governor Henry McMaster.

The backlash from anti-Trump forces was such that Lynch felt the need to write an open letter to Trump on Facebook in which Lynch wishes he could sit down and talk with Trump and says that he is "causing suffering and division" while adding that it was "not too late to turn the ship around."

If only anyone had read the damn article in the first place. Here is the critical paragraph:

He is undecided about Donald Trump. “He could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much. No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.” While Trump may not be doing a good job himself, Lynch thinks, he is opening up a space where other outsiders might. “Our so-called leaders can’t take the country forward, can’t get anything done. Like children, they are. Trump has shown all this.”

From the first sentence forward, Lynch is not endorsing Trump. Far from it.

But the most interesting part of Lynch's statement is when he says, "No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way."

Maxine Waters sure isn't nor for that matter the people who heckled DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at a restaurant, asked Sarah Sanders to leave the Red Hen or confronted Labor Secretary Elaine Chao in front of her home. The people who did this might feel good about themselves. But if they truly wish to see Donald Trump defeated in 2020 then they must ask themselves how such acts are going to get a single Trump voter to change their minds.

I don't see how things get any better once Trump appoints Anthony Kennedy's successor to the Supreme Court. 

Perhaps it will be left to David Lynch to come up with a way. Though this might involve some coffee and cherry pie.
